Cleveland, OH Ironwork Professionals

Without ironworkers and their structural know-how, many of the great buildings of the world would never have come to be. But most Cleveland homeowners are more likely to hire an ornamental or architectural ironworker, who crafts metal pieces that are visible on the exterior. From window frames to grates and balconies, from screens and fences to hardware, these pros shape iron into forms that are as decorative as they are functional. More

Finelli has been the leader in providing the Northeast region with custom, handmade iron and wood pieces. Our company has a rich tradition with our roots tracing deep into European craftsmanship. Michael Finelli, our founder, was born in 1927 in Roseto Valfortore, Italy. He apprenticed in the local blacksmith shop from the age of 7, forging, crafting, and repairing tools for farmers and local townsmen. Michael moved to America at the age of 18 and upon arrival met his father for the first time. He began work in a steel mill in Cleveland, Ohio. A few years later Michael opened up his own blacksmith shop in Bedford, Ohio. What started out as a single man with a two-car-garage is now a 20,000 sq. ft. iron and wood shop with 15 employees.
In 1987 Michael Finelli passed his business down to his two sons, who own and operate the business and continue the Finelli Family Legacy.

“I had wood from a sugar maple I had to remove due to storm damage. It was a favorite tree that we wanted to remember and preserve and re-cycle. The Nine 5 Gallery took time to draft and design a high top table and cocktail table. They are one of a kind elements in our home. In addition, they custom made a bracket for a sink in our guest bath and are currently working with us to add some custom metal work to our house.”

What does an ironworker do?

An ornamental ironworker fabricates bulk iron into the types of structures that a particular home calls for, then installs them onsite. Some of these pieces are mass produced, others custom crafted. Many ornamental ironworkers also have the design skills to fashion unique decorative components. Ironworkers must be trained in safety to create elements such as railings and balconies that both satisfy a home’s aesthetic needs and meet Cleveland, OH building codes. Here are some related professionals and vendors to complement the work of ironwork: Fencing & Gate Sales & Construction, Decks, Patios & Outdoor Enclosures, Siding & Exteriors.
